hi all, when u declare an internal table with header line , it will be initial at the time of declaration. if u store some data in it and then refresh it, the internal table doesnot become initial again, rather it will have 0 rows. how can i make it initial again? does free itab [ ] works? or is there an other way to do it?

You will have to refresh the table and clear the header line.

refresh itab[].

clear itab.

Its the same case with free, it will affect only the table body not the header line.

free itab[].

clear itab.

The use of itab with header lines is obsolete along with the refresh statement.

You should declare the internal tables without header line and use a different work area to manipulate the data.
